OAKLAND, Calif. —

A lockdown was ordered at an Oakland elementary school Friday afternoon after a student was found with a BB gun, according to a school
district spokesman.

REACH Academy, located at 9860 Sunnyside St., went on lockdown around 2:35 p.m. when police said a student was potentially on campus armed with a firearm.

Oakland Unified School District spokesman Troy Flint said a student was found with a BB gun and determined to not be a threat.

The lockdown was lifted before 3 p.m., he said.

Oakland police responded to the school and after discovering there was not a real firearm on campus determined the school was safe.
